Functions
of human resource management team

Human resource
management is mostly thought to be of recruitment and payroll. But there
is more to it. There are many processes in human resource management
that you might not have thought of. They provide value addition to the
organizations goal. The top management also expects them to stretch
their contribution towards it.

Some of the common
functions of the human resource management department are those that
are found in most of the companies. Payroll is an important function
of the HR department. This function is linked to Time management where
they need to keep track of the employee working hours in a month and
create payroll according to that. Payroll gets its information from
the time management module. With the advent of information technology
in all aspects of the organization, it is easy to link time management
with the payroll processing.

One of the other
important functions of the HR department is Recruitment. It would be
a tedious process if IT is not there. The concerned department would
make a request for the openings in their department and the HR team
has to place an advertisement for the openings. In the earlier days
it was tedious process. Now they can easily place job opening in leading
job sites and their own company website. In a day or two they can get
thousands of applications and short list the candidates for interviews
in a short duration.

Once the candidates
are recruited, there comes the induction and orientation program where
the new employees are given an induction program to suit to the culture
of the organization. This is also a function of the HR department. Apart
from this they would also give training programs on certain technologies
that are needed for certain projects. This is to upgrade the skills
the employees from time to time to cope up with the emerging trends.

Employee benefits
administration, Performance appraisal, General HR Administration, and
Travel administration are some of the other functions of the human resource
management team.
